Starting this week, University of Michigan students are able to designate a personal pronoun with the university and have the pronoun reflected on class rosters this fall.
The move is another way the university is fostering an environment of inclusiveness, according to an email to students and faculty members on the Ann Arbor campus from Provost Martha Pollack and Vice President for Student Life Royster Harper. + more information
Learn how to designate pronouns in Wolverine Access. Email questions about designated pronouns, or gender identity or gender expression to the Spectrum Center at spectrumcenter @umich.edu.
A designated personal pronoun is a pronoun an individual chooses to identify with and expects others to use when referencing them (he, she, him, his, ze, etc.).
Students can designate pronouns in Wolverine Access through the new Gender Identity tab within the Campus Personal Information section. This page can be used to enter, update or delete pronoun information.
All here shall now and forever more refer to me as the Most High, Exalted, Regal, Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla. Thank you. ;)
I want everyone on FR to refer to me at “etc.” from now.
Student officially changes his personal pronoun to His Majesty on campus roster

What a helpful system! It allows the nutcases (and jokesters) to identify themselves up front, so that normal (or serious) people who want to do their work and get a degree can try to keep a safe distance.
I like She, He, It. Abbreviated as Sheit.
There are going to be many funny ones...
This is a flight from reality, and I don’t think people’s delusions and whims should be coddled in this way. But even as a matter of administrative and linguistic convenience, someone is eventually going to have to restrict and standardise the categories and pronouns, otherwise the only limit is the linguistic inventiveness of individuals.
I am partial to “Hey, you!”. Dad liked it. Must be spoken with extreme exclamation.
I like royal titles as well. So personally, I’m going with Duke. Or maybe Earl. Wait...I’ve got it. I want to be called the Duke of Earl.
Cool my pronoun would be “Bad Ass”
Maybe
“The Superior Being”
With some names, however, there is a distinct advantage to being able to designate the proper pronoun that goes with the name.
When I was born, one of my mother’s friends called to ask what she had named me. When my mother told her, she exclaimed, “Oh, you had a little boy!” My middle name is androgynous, as well.
Excellent point. This would also be helpful for many foreign students.
“Massa” is way better. Yes, heads exploding.
I prefer “his highness” for self reference.
I, myself, choose “wrtyxcpplot”. And if they mispronounce it, well, that’s microagression.
Cousin It approves.
ROFL!!! great movie, heartbreak ridge
FU?
One after another, the great universities are falling like dominoes to the PC ax. They are lining up one by one to have their common sense and integrity extirpated by mindless slavering libtards. It would be a real question now to decide whether it’s worth sending your kid to college, if this is the stupidity dish being served up.
